    2015 S100RR Looks 'rank'

    Certainly looking at the pics I'm not annoyed that I bought a 2014 instead if waiting but may feel different when I see it. Looks like the tank and tail section have been taken from a 1000R or am I imagining it? Liking the extras that come with it though, depending on the price there might be a...

    Hi all

    Welcome. Good colour choice, I've had mine since March and still can't stop smiling when I open the garage door. Did you go for the free accessories? Enjoy. Cheers

    GAP Insurance

    My dealer even told me to shop about as their GAP insurance was fortunes. I went for the 123 policy over 3 years with a claim limit of ?7500 which cost ?79 and that is return to invoice. Hopefully I never need to use it but gives a bit of piece if mind. I got ?7500 as a trade in for my 3 year...

    Busted................i think?

    I know everyone automatically wants to jump on the band wagon of all cops are d#@ks. You sure it wasn't 4 fingers he was holding up, saying its a 40 slow down? Surely the officer would have stopped you if it was safe. I think you'll be fine but maybe I just want to see the good in things. I just...

    Vibration through bars

    This has been a common complaint since the bike came out. I had it on my 2011 and now on my 2014, one had K3s and the other BT016. still notice it so not down to tyres. It's never overly bothered me but I have spoken to people who have fitted slightly heavier bar ends which they say helps.

    service costs

    Got my 600 mile service done a couple of months back. I know this isn't a true reflection but I paid £82 for mine. Dealer was doing a deal of free oil until the end of April and 10% off because I'd bought the bike off them. I was originally told it would be around the £130 mark for 600 mile...

    Newbie from scotland

    Sorry I should have been clearer, I got my 2014 RR from parks not an HP4 although they had a bash at trying to talk me into buying one. So other than a demo ride on one I can't comment.

    Legality on Mirrored visors in the UK

    Must let in at least 70% light, if memory serves. Like others have said it's the same as windows. I don't know of equipment that the police have that will work on visors, the one for windows would struggle to work because visors are curved. The only issue is if the visors says "not for road use"...

    6000mile first year service

    Think mine was about £250ish. That was filters, oil and front and rear brake fluid replaced. They said that was a standard thing to replace the brake fluid. Brakes felt great after it.

    Switch Gear Replacement

    I'm hoping it's not a sign of things to come but my 2014 starter button is sticking. It feels like it's jamming, give it a wiggle to the side when pressing then it clicks down and bike cranks over. My 2011 had the left switch gear replaced but the right side was always fine. It's in for the...

    Chain problems..

    "it's perfectly normal for a chain to stretch during first 700 miles! it will be on the dealers check list when it goes in for a service, but if too much play just adjust it yourself it's only a 5 min job" Yeah I thought it was perfectly normal for it to stretch but it's seems excessive to be...

    Chain problems..

    I had a 2011 S1k and had no issues with the chain. I have done 700 miles on my 2014 non HP4 and the chain is slack, I can hear it slapping about. It goes in on Monday for its first service so will mention to the dealer about it. Don't know how old your HP4 is but maybe there are issues with the...

    Advice on rearset location

    I fitted the BMW rearsets to my 2014 S1000RR but have kept them pretty much neutral. I read the instructions for the rearsets which say you can adjust the gear lever. Where the rod connects to the engine pull the rubber grommit back and disconnect it from the actual gear selector on the engine...

    free akrapovic silencer,rearsets and levers from bmw uk with every s1000rr sale?

    Yip it's true. For some reason they aren't advertising it. I picked mine up in the 1st of March and new nothing about it only for the dealer to say that there was an offer and I was eligible so I bit his hand off for it. One week later got the call to say bits were in. You get the Akrapovic slip...

    Leathers Rubbing Tank

    My tank is black and I have noticed straight away that my leathers appear to be rubbing the paint on the tank where my knees grip. Polish takes the worst of it away but the marks are still there. I was thinking about Ventureshield but have heard this can sometimes look a bit tatty after a while...

    Another HP4 Insurance question

    I've just taken an MCE policy out for my 2014 S1K but it has a high excess. I didn't know I could pay a fee to get rid of it, do you know if it's something I can do even though the policy has been arranged and paid for?
